Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

There is a sculpture similar to that in one of the parks in Eugene. Maybe the same artist or same time period anyway!
Very nice reds all over Seattle and it doesn’t even look too gray — so did your visitor love the Emerald City?

Neon signs are wonderful RT subjects! The massive plants with spicy ruby peppers are wonderful as i the musical accompaniments are nice, and even the artist provided a nice sculpture in red (I would say it is a bird of some type, but only the sculptor knows for sure!)

Hi Ellen,
Wow, I missed a lot. I just spent some time reading and catching up on your blog..Lots going on!
So a one home owner now, but you will go back and visit.
The story about your parents was amazing!
You have a beautiful family..I know you will miss seeing them as often.
I see my sis in TX about every 2 yrs…
I know you will do better than that!!
